WARNING !
Scam Alert Targeting Hay Sellers
The South Carolina Department of Agriculture has reported that a scammer is using their Market Bulletin ads and other publications throughout the country to buy hay and other items, even livestock. The scam takes place when the con artist sends a check over-and-above the amount required to pay for the product. The trusting seller cashes the check taking the amount required and sending the rest back to the buyer. However, eventually, the seller discovers that the check is fraudulent.
There are a number of scams out there where buyers offer bogus payment (often cashiers checks or money orders). This has been going on for awhile on the auction sites like Ebay, and you can find a lot of information about these scams online. Unfortunately, these scam artists are now targeting hay sellers, too.
